Surgical release of the biceps ulnaris tendon to alleviate chronic medial elbow pain caused by tendon impingement or fibrosis. Typically indicated in cases of medial compartment disease where soft tissue restriction limits range of motion and conservative management fails.
Mid-shaft fractures of the radius disrupt forelimb support and require precise internal fixation to restore function and prevent malunion.
Breaks in the distal humerus affecting the elbow articulation, often due to trauma. Surgical repair is crucial for restoring normal biomechanics and preventing the progression of arthritis.
A developmental condition involving abnormal growth of the elbow joint components, leading to pain, lameness, and progressive osteoarthritis. Common in large-breed dogs and often requires surgical intervention.
Misalignment of the radius, ulna, and humerus that disrupts standard joint mechanics, causing uneven load distribution and cartilage wear. Corrective osteotomy may be indicated for severe cases of deformity.
Degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage loss and bone remodeling within the elbow. Typically secondary to dysplasia or trauma, management focuses on pain relief and preserving mobility.
A cartilage development disorder affecting the humeral condyle, resulting in flap formation and joint inflammation. Arthroscopic removal of the lesion is the standard treatment for restoring function.
Fragmentation of the medial coronoid process of the ulna, a key component of elbow dysplasia. Causes pain and joint instability; arthroscopic fragment removal is commonly performed.
Fractures near the elbow joint that compromise limb function and stability. Repair strategies include internal fixation to restore alignment and joint integrity.
